Many Pittsburgh Pirates fans have bashed on the team for years now as they see it as a franchise that “doesn’t want to win.” However, after the moves made so far this offseason, it seems as if that is no longer the case.
The organization finally took action and cut ties with general manager Neal Huntington, manager Clint Hurdle, hitting coaches Jeff Branson and Jeff Livesey, pitching coach Ray Searage, bench coach Tom Prince, assistant GM Kyle Stark, and president Frank Coonelly.
That’s exactly what most Pirates fans wanted to see, aside from the fact that Bob Nutting is still the owner of the club.
